I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.

Focusing on one thing and doing it really, really well can get you very far.

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going.

I promise you, a lot of it is luck. But you make your own luck by working really hard and trying lots and lots of things.

Above all else, products spread when they're useful and they're usable

I think Instagram at its best is where you feel like you're getting the most authentic version of the person on the other side of the camera.

Great products sell themselves.

Our goal is to not just be a photo-sharing app, but to be the way you share your life when you're on the go.

Every photo you take communicates something about a moment in time - a brief slice of time of where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing.

Every startup should address a real and demonstrated need in the world. If you build a solution to a problem lots of people have, it's so easy to sell your product to the world.

I really love connecting people, creating communities. As a kid, creation was something that I always loved.

Do not wait for life. Do not long for it. Be aware, always and at every moment, that the miracle is in the here and now.

To think is to have doubt....yet even thinking will bring you to "no thought"....eventually.

Nothing worthwhile ever came from divided attention.

Mood can be as important as sense.

I've been a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNICEF and the UNICEF family for more than twelve years

Whoever mocks his brother for a sin they repented from will not die till he himself falls into the same sin.

Romance goes like this: Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl again. The end. It can't be any other way.

To see a candle's light, one must take it into a dark place. This is the same as to see the good and be grateful, one must compare and contrast it with something worse - not better!

Be a harsh critic of your own wins.
